455 Glittering
In order to celebrate Mo Rao taking over these small companies, Old Madam Qu specifically held a banquet in the name of the Qu Corporation.
As the protagonist and Old Madam Qu’s most precious granddaughter, Mo Rao naturally became the focus of this banquet.
In order to cooperate with Old Madam Qu, Mo Rao put on a haute couture dress and even put on Gu Ci’s “Atlantean Tears”.
This was the first time she was wearing this set of jewelry. It had to be said that this set of jewelry was made for Mo Rao.
Wearing the Atlantean Tears, she was like a mermaid in the deep sea, or a serene Atlantean princess.
Compared to being a celebrity, Mo Rao was more like an upstart in the business world.
Although the Qu family and the Shen family were not on good terms, the Qu family still invited the Shen family to this banquet today.
When Shen Jia saw Mo Rao surrounded by everyone, she was extremely jealous.
At first, she thought that as the heir of the Shen Corporation, she was more worthy of Fu Ying than Mo Rao, who was a celebrity. However, not only was Mo Rao a celebrity, but she was also one of the small executives sent by the Qu family to manage the company.
Moreover, she paled in comparison to Mo Rao.
No matter where she was, everyone around her was talking about Mo Rao.
“Mo Rao is too gorgeous… She’s really beautiful and capable!”
“That’s right!! If I were Fu Ying, I would be head over heels for her too!”
“I heard that she even invited Mr. K to publish his new work in Jiayi’s next issue!! I’m really looking forward to it!”
…
Shen Jia couldn’t help but admire Mo Rao’s methods. She had these men at her fingertips.
Not to mention that Fu Ying was devoted to Mo Rao, even Gu Ci had fallen in love with her.
Fu Ying naturally attended this occasion. This was the first time he had attended a banquet after he recovered. Many people came forward when they saw Fu Ying and greeted him.
However, Fu Ying’s gaze kept following Mo Rao, who was in the middle of the crowd.
As expected, no matter where she was, she was always the most dazzling one.
At this moment, Gu Ci appeared beside Fu Ying.
“I didn’t expect you to be discharged from the hospital so soon. Looks like you recovered quite quickly.” Although Gu Ci had a smile on his face, his words were filled with coldness.
Fu Ying didn’t even look at Gu Ci as he said coldly, “Thank you for your concern, President Gu.”
“Fu Ying, I advise you to let go as soon as possible. Mo Rao won’t choose you,” Gu Ci provoked. “You’re still dragging a pair of disabled legs now. You’re not worthy of her at all. When you’re old, you’ll even need her to take care of you. Do you want to drag her down?”
“Gu Ci, what happens between Mo Rao and me is between the two of us. Besides, thanks to my legs, my relationship with Mo Rao is much better.” Fu Ying smiled. “Before she took over these two companies, when she encountered something she didn’t understand, she found me immediately.”
When he heard Fu Ying’s words, Gu Ci’s expression changed.
Mo Rao looked for Fu Ying in advance?
Why didn’t Mo Rao look for him? Was he not worthy?
Gu Ci was furious, but he tried his best to suppress his anger.
“So what? My relationship with Mo Rao will only become closer in the future.” Gu Ci sneered.
“The choice is in Mo Rao’s hands. I don’t mind competing with you.” Fu Ying accepted the challenge calmly.
Two tall and handsome men standing side by side was enough to attract attention. Moreover, they were so intimidating that the crowd felt oppressed.
At this moment, Shen Jia walked over with a wine glass and a smile on her face.
“President Gu, President Fu, what a coincidence.” Shen Jia raised her glass. “It’s rare to see you two. Why don’t we have a drink?”
Gu Ci sized up Shen Jia. “You’re Shen Jia, right? The person rumored to be marrying Fu Ying.”
Shen Jia smiled and walked to Fu Ying’s side as she said, “Whether we can get married depends on Fu Ying’s decision. I really want to marry him.”
This bold and passionate confession didn’t stir Fu Ying’s heart.
He only hoped that Shen Jia would shut up.
If word got out, it would spread like wildfire. One day, when Mo Rao heard this, it would seem like they were really about to marry each other.
Fu Ying didn’t want Mo Rao to misunderstand.
“I like Miss Shen’s bravery.” Gu Ci narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Shen Jia. Then, he clinked glasses with her.
